This is BY FAR the most helpful video I’ve seen. I hope newcomers find it very useful.
Thanks so much for watching! We hope it helps!
This was so helpful! Thank you.
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
This was super helpful, and gives me an idea if I can do everything I want to with my son on our upcoming trip! I am pretty good at using genie+ but I have constraints on our trip needing to leave for the airport by 4:30 pm, and having to manage my 8 year old not always willing to be flexible. I put the times you were able to accomplish in a spreadsheet and I think it might actually be possible to do most of the rides my son says he wants between 8am-4:30 pm! We will be there on a Sunday in June. Thank you for this perspective!
Absolutely fabulous, you two. Well done! I so appreciate this video. There is so much content out there on this info but this is the one to save. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching! We hope you have a great trip!
I’m glad you got on so many but so feel knackered just watching this!!
Haha, thanks! It was definitely a long and tiring day, but worth it in the end.
Awesome video! I haven't been to park in 10 years and planning my trip first time ever with kids and this is exactly what I'm looking for to help organize my day! I'll be watching over and over taking notes lol
Thanks so much! We really appreciate it ☺️ Have a great trip!
This was super helpful and a fun video to watch! Thanks!

Amazing and incredible to be able to ride all the rides in one day
Thanks so much for watching! It’s a really fun challenge!
Excellent video. I’m gonna watch your DCA one, too.
Thanks so much for watching! We hope they’re both helpful!
Excellent video, very helpful. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for watching!
This video was very helpful. We are new to DL, typically go to DW. The genie plus ride options are very different at the 2 parks. Great strategy, thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! We’re so glad you found it helpful and hope you have a great trip!
Going to Disneyland in a few weeks. I think I’ll follow this itinerary
We hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching!
Well done👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! ☺️
Nice job!
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice job on the video, that's a LOT done! The LL modifier was a game changer for us on our visit a month ago. One thing you mentioned was being careful to not get stuck by parades/fireworks. Do you have recommendations for the better areas to go during those times?
Thank you so much! Glad that strategy worked for you too! In general, Main Street and the castle are areas to avoid during the parades and fireworks, as well as the area in front of Its a Small World. Sometimes the more popular rides can have shorter waits during those times, so we’d plan on staying in one land without trying to cross to the other side of the park.
Awesome, thanks for the info. Just watched a couple of your other videos and you put out great stuff. Keep it up!@@InAMagicalMood
@RionGreenhouseKit Thank you so much! We really appreciate it! 😊
Lightning lane can be used 5 minutes early and 15 minutes after
Hi! Your video is so helpful! If you had one day using genie+ and park hopper which park would you recommend starting at first? I have 2 kids 7 and 5 who love thrill rides and we’ve been to Disney World to take into consideration. The day we go DL closes at 12am and DCA at 10pm..Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Thanks so much for watching! If we only had one day, we’d start at DCA (we have a video showing our strategy just like this DL one), if you head back to Pixar Pier, you can get through a lot of rides with little to no wait. Then use Genie plus for the rest of the big rides at DCA and hop over to Disneyland anytime after 11am. You can also book Lightning Lanes for Disneyland before you park hop as long as you’ve used your DCA ones already. Have a great trip!
Will the recent changes to Genie+ change the this strategy?
Hi! As of now, at Disneyland, only the name will be changed for Genie Plus. The system is changing at WDW so we’re curious to see if or when things will change at Disneyland. Thanks for watching!
There were a couple of times it seemed you had booked a genie+/LL when you already had one booked. Can you book more than one at a time? Newbie question! We are visiting from overseas in May. We have 1 day in each DL & DCA with Genie+. This vid was really helpful thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! You can have a Lightning Lane from Genie+ and an Individual Lightning Lane for Rise of the Resistance at the same time. Otherwise, we will sometimes cancel out or modify Lightning Lanes to get a better time or to switch to a different attraction. You can also book a new Lightning Lane as soon as you’ve scan into an attraction, so it may have seemed like we had several LLs at the same time. Hope that helps!
Personally, unless I am at the very front of the rope, I would skip Pan and head to Alice or even Snow White. For me, it's worth it to get up early enough to be first in the park. If you are the first to get on Pan, you can hit every ride in Fantasyland pretty quickly.
We totally agree, the line for Peter Pan fills up really quickly at rope drop, so heading for those other attractions is a good plan if you can’t get near the front of the crowd. Thanks for watching!
Hi, do you think is a good idea do the mickey and minnie railroad first at rope drop??
Hi! The line usually stays short for the first couple hours that the park is open, so it may save more time to rope drop a more popular ride like Space Mountain or Indiana Jones. It’s also nice to enjoy Toontown in the morning when it’s not so busy, so it’s not a bad choice for rope drop either.
This was the best video of genie plus I have ever seen!!!! This helped me out so much!!!! I think I won’t be able to use my DAS anymore so now my family and I will have to go this route .. I’m not familiar but I got so many questions answered in one video! Thank you so much!!! My only question is, can I book a lighting lane ride at DCA for example , BUT I am inside of Disneyland ? I am an annual pass holder and I wouldn’t have any ties to hotel or anything. Just entering Disneyland as a normal pass holder but now I want to book “monsters inc” (but I’m still inside Disneyland ) can I do that?
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, you can book a Lightning Lane in either park as long as you have a ticket or pass that includes park hopping.
@@InAMagicalMood Got it!! Thank you so much!!!
@B.F.10 You’re very welcome! 😁
Idk if I missed it, but what day of the week did you do this? Do you think rope dropping Peter Pan on a Tuesday would still be 20 minutes long? I’ve been planning on rope dropping Peter Pan since it’s not included in genie+ but I didn’t think it would already have a 20 minute line at rope drop
Hi! This was filmed on a Saturday. To be honest, this is still one of the shortest wait times you can find for this attraction unless you are staying at a Disney hotel (which gives you early access to the attractions). Once the rope drop crowd fills up the queue, the wait is usually 45-60 minutes all day. Fingers crossed the line is a little shorter when you visit! Thanks for watching!
@@InAMagicalMood yes, I’ll be staying at the Grand Californian and definitely will be doing the early access so hopefully it will be a little shorter
@cassidynichols-dahill1066 How exciting! Have a wonderful trip!
Im a bit confused. Which lightening lanes did you buy separately and which came with genie
Hi! Rise of the Resistance is the only attraction at Disneyland that needs the seperate Individual Lightning Lane, all of the other attractions we mentioned that use Genie Plus are included in the Genie Plus cost. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
How much is the purchase price for each lightening lane purchased.
The cost for Genie plus, which includes all Lightning Lane attractions except for Rise of the Resistance, varies by day, the price starts at $30 per guest per day. The Individual Lighting Lane for Rise of the Resistance varies by day, but starts at $26. Hope that helps!
Were there any additional costs other than LL for RotR?
Hi! We paid for the Genie Plus service for the day and the Individual Lightning Lane for Rise of the Resistance. Those prices vary depending on the date. Hope that helps!
So if i understand how the plus works we can only use it once per ride correct..?
Ex if i use it for the big thunder at 12pm; i can no longer use it for later in the evening correct? Unless i wait in the GA line…
Yes, when you select an attraction with Genie Plus, you will get a specific return time. After you have used that Lightning Lane, you cannot select the same attraction again, but you are able to wait in the Stand By line as many times as you’d like. Thanks for watching!
Does that apply when you have a hopper as well?
@user-gw5tp5bu8o Yes, that’s correct.
What do you tap when you get to the ride?
Thanks for watching! Look for a sign that says Lightning Lane, where there will be a Cast Member and a small machine that you can tap your Magic Band on or scan your ticket barcode from your phone.
It’s easier with two people or single versus a family. Genie plus is not larger group conducive.
Thanks for watching!
Use the roo pass on Winnie the Pooh to cut that wait out
Thanks for the tip! We’ll have to try that one!
title says how to use genie plus , but lighting lane is all they talk about nothing mentioned about genie plusd..I'm confused
Hi! Thanks for watching! We agree it’s a little confusing since Disney renamed the system. Genie Plus is the name for the entire service but the return times and places are called Lightning Lanes. It made a lot more sense when everything was just called FastPass.
@InAMagicalMood ok so are you saying genie plus is lighting lane and lightning lane is not an extra charge?
Genie Plus is what Disney calls the entire program, although it doesn’t really include any other services. Lightning Lane is the service you pay for, there are two options. Regular Lightning Lane covers most attractions and is one fee for all those attractions. Individual Lightning Lane is purchased just for Rise of the Resistance or Radiator Springs Racers, and those can be purchased separately from the main Lightning Lanes. The wording is very confusing but we hope that helps!
@InAMagicalMood ok I see the regular lighting lane comes automatically when you purchase the genie plus right?
@everlindaishmael342 Yes, you’re right 😁
Very efficient. But did you have fun? It didn't look fun to me.
Thanks for watching!
Genie+ isn't for every ride
